IN      THE      DEPTHS      OF     MAY. 
                                          
                                
                                   
                                   
                                   
                                   
                                
                                          
 IMAGINE  IF YOU  WILL,  A LUSH BLUEBERRY 
 SPRUCE  FOREST, WITH  ROLLING  HILLS AND 
           KNEE-DEEP UNDERBRUSH.          
                                          
 THE  GROUND  IS SOFT.  LEAVES IN ALL  OF 
 THE SEVEN  STAGES  OF  DECOMPOSITION ARE 
   PACKED LOOSELY TOGETHER... SOMETIMES   
 THERE ARE ROCKS.  BIGGER  BOULDERS  PEEK 
            OUT OF THE HILLS.             
                                          
 THERE COULD BE,  SOMEWHERE IN THE DEPTHS 
 OF IT ALL, A CREVICE FILLED WITH  WATER. 
    BIRD CHERRIES AT THE EDGES, DIPPING   
 THEIR LONG FINGERS BENEATH THE  SURFACE. 
    WATER LILIES, MAYBE. THE WATER IS     
  YELLOW-GREEN WITH POLLEN, AND INSECTS   
      ARE SWARMING ABOVE THE SURFACE.     
                                          
        WATER STRIDERS, MOSQUITOS,        
         BACK FLIES, CRANE FLIES.         
                                          
                                
                                   
                                   
                                   
                                   
                                
                                          
 IN   THIS  CASE  WE   WOULD   USE  DEET, 
 OR DIETHYLTOLUAMIDE AS IT'S ALSO CALLED. 
                                          
 DEET  SHOULD  BE APPLIED  TO  YOUR SKIN. 
 YOU SHOULD  COVER ALL SKIN THAT IS TO BE 
 EXPOSED TO  AIR. IT'S OK  TO GET SOME IN 
 THE  EYES. RUB  UNTIL  IT  FEELS  RIGHT, 
 UNTIL THE SKIN  FEELS  GOOD. LET IT SOAK 
                   IN.                    
                                          
       YOU'VE NOW BECOME POISONOUS.
